A question to Riot on Matchmaking

The question is are you ever going to fix matchmaking or is it going to stay as is?

The community has been speaking out against your bad matchmaking system for a very long time now. About how they DO NOT want to fight full 5 man teams as solo or duo que, DO NOT want to fight full Gold teams while only Silver ranked, about how they DO NOT want you to keep on matching people with the 50% system that is meant to bring people down. So far there has been 0 response. If you do not know what we are talking about play your own game, and monitor the win/loss ratios, placements, and etc for over 200 games. You will see. The facts are in every game I play.

There are a billion programs that analyze your game, maybe try out one of those if you can't see what is going on here.

I think they should start looking at deviation of players' output. If you practically always perform well in lower ranks, the other team will have to look to punish/exploit your teammates to beat you. So therefore consistently good players should play with players like themselves until they are at rank where they are average and both teams are the same. The fair thing is for good players to win at the expense of bad players, and this would greatly alleviate the smurfing problem. Matchmaking should be bad vs bad, or good vs bad, and as a reward for being good you get to play good vs good at a higher rank. Carrying bad (or random; therefore bad) players is pointless is not a reward it is a punishment... for being good. This would also purge some of the low quality in gold+ as well. item 3348

There isn't a response simply because even they are having issues on fixing it (They probably don't know how)

I've went on a 20 winning streak and now i'm on a 20 losing streak.

Normal games will never be fixed. If you want equal skill level playing ranked is your best bet.

I'm in high gold getting diamonds on my team/other in normals happens every game. My ranked games are very evenly matched.
